About

Credits

This presentation of readings by the faculty of the Pacific University MFA Program were created by Jordan Carter, Jessica Just, and Michael Nelson, students in the MEDA 350 class of Spring 2012. We sought to add a beautiful, inspiring display of the wonderful stories and poems written by the MFA authors that engages the viewer's senses and imagination.

We went through several different designs before we reached the final product and spent many weeks brainstorming and trying new ideas. Once we worked out the kinks, our class collaborated with the program director, Shelley Washburn, and the authors to achieve the best design for everyone.

Our class learned all about project management, design, and the technical issues involved in a web project. Thank you for watching and listening. We hope you enjoy the works displayed here.
